Consider the following molecules and statements related to them :

(B) is move likely to be crystalline than (A)
(B) has higher boiling point than (A)
(B) dissolves more readily than (A) in water
Identify the correct option from below :

Options

A. (1) and (2) are true
B. (1) and (3) are true
C. Only (1) is true
D. (1), (2) and (3) are true

Answer

D

Explanation

(1) B will be more crystalline due to more inter molecular interactions hence more efficient packing.
(2) B will have higher boiling point due to higher intermolecular interactions.
(3) B will be more soluble in water than A as B will have more extent of H-bonding in water So all three statements are correct
